With the show that has been so pivotal to my online identity being five years old, I figured it'd be fun to analyze how well the show holds & why it struck such a chord. And you may also find some surprise discoveries from what was to come...

Join me as we look back at Glitch Techs, 5 years later.

So THIS is how it must've felt when the Lion King had just come out.

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Hollywood Has a Major AI Hype Problem

Studio execs and major media outlets claim that AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over film and TV. The reality is much different.

Can the bubble popping please be the beginning of capitalism's downfall?

Yeah on second thought, you're right.

I just hope whatever the kids of 20 years from now are exposed to is far, far removed from this. *shivers*

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 20h

Considering the AI epidemic, the ICE recuitments, and the orange prune in DC... maybe that's for the best. At least for THAT generation.

It genuinely feels at this point like Sam is openly and intentionally flexing what obscene tactics he is allowed to get away with just to prove to the world that he can.

I sincerely hope the popping of the AI bubble serves as the beginning of the end of this capitalistic nightmare because I don't know how much more of this I can take.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

A ★★★★ review of Elio (2025)

Rewatching this with the context I have now does indeed make me take more notice of the film's flaws. The focal characters have a habit of sticking to the center-frame most of the time, and they don't...

I saw this in the theater.
It was about as pumped as you'd expect.

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 1d

The first season feels very 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends' in tone and feel, no doubt from how much of the core writing team came from that.

I find it weird that this S&P-mandated, 9-second disclaimer seems to genuinely be the most online buzz this show has received as of this point. But hey, better this than something stupider...

And this is how they're treating something they have some level of faith in.

Did you remember that Sesame Workshop Charlotte's Web dropped? I didn't think so.

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 2d

Not only that, but we started getting information on it so bizarrely short-notice. Would it have killed them to have the date and screencaps out a month in advance, as has become standard procedure?

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 2d

"Elio" is definitely a flawed movie. I think everything that can be said about it, good and bad, has been said by now.

But I don't think I will ever be convinced that this film isn't BEAUTIFUL in terms of its lighting, coloring, atmosphere, and sound mixing.

The family dynamic was shockingly wholesome in "Merry Little Batman" so it pleases me that I get to see more.

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 3d

Committing a lot of my spare time these past weeks to the story mode of Dokapon Kingdom with a few IRLs is both a fun distraction from the events and struggles of our world... & also borderline massocism at points that takes the friendship-ruining party game to another level.

It's... an experience

Toon4Thought @toon4thought.bsky.social · 4d

I'm hoping that we'll soon start seeing more players emerge following Glitch's model for the sake of there being multiple options. They can't fund & produce EVERYTHING.

Which yes, will involve actually lobbying for federal grants to become a thing as soon as the GOP is out (I hate having to wait).
